Ethan wanted to say more, but ultimately held his tongue.
Harold exchanged a few polite words with Stephanie before stepping out of the room.
Isabella was waiting for him in the corridor.
When she saw him, she didn't speak. She simply linked her arm through his, and they walked away together.
As they turned the corner, they ran into Jennifer Adams.
"Mrs. Adams."
Both Isabella and Harold stopped and offered polite greetings.
Jennifer looked thinner and visibly aged. Ethan's accident had terrified her. The unbearable anxiety over her son had ruined her sleep and appetite, and spending every day at the hospital had taken a heavy toll on her health and appearance.
"Isabella, Harold... You came to see Ethan? Leaving so soon?"
Seeing her once-despised daughter-in-law arm-in-arm with one of Cabinda's most promising young talents left a bitter taste in Jennifer's mouth.
If she had known how things would turn out—if she had known her son would actually fall in love with Isabella—she never would have targeted her. She should have left a way out. Unfortunately, there were no do-overs in life.
The Adams family had pushed Isabella too far away, and there was no bringing her back now.
"Yes, we chatted with him for a while," Isabella answered smoothly. "He was getting tired, so we're letting him rest. We'll be on our way."
A flicker of genuine gratitude crossed Jennifer's face. "Isabella, thank you for being willing to visit him and keep him company. He cares about you so much. Seeing you is what makes him happiest."
Realizing how that sounded, she quickly apologized, "Harold, I didn't mean anything by that. I'm just speaking honestly."
Harold smiled warmly. "It's fine. I know Ethan still has feelings for Isabella. But she is my girlfriend now. We'll visit when we can, but I won't have her coming here constantly. She is with me, after all."

The readers' comments on the novel: After I Stopped Loving Him (Isabella and Ethan)
I will be devastated if Isabella and Ethan will get back together. Please, writer, Isabella deserves Harold....
Author, please get your characters names right. You always messing them up!...
I wish Harold will win Isabella's heart. I was so sad when Isabela was taken for granted coldly and cruelly by her supposed to be husband, and trapped,mocked and humiliated non stop by Natalie. This was so cruel, both don't deserve Isabela' forgiveness I wish for a happy ending between Isabela and Harold, he has the right to be happy after the long wait....
Frankly, the story initially was going quite good and the pacing was just right. unfortunately after Ethan got the dream of his past life, the story has been going in circles. Ethan's spouting the same nonsense every time he sees Isabella, they both have same conversations over and over. The authors monologue too has been the same for almost 400 chapters. Irrespective of which character the writing the just a repetition of what someone had gone through in the past and what made a certain character feel the emotions. York got introduced in 800 chapters yet nothing significant happened till date. Isabella is soft with Harold and kind of disgusted with Ethan, yet it is not entirely clear with whom she might end up. If she stays single i am fine with it but the story is clearly about Isabella and Ethan so almost 1000 chapters without seeing any progress in their relationship is frustrating. Except for being blindly in love and few aggressive instances with Isabella, Ethan actually isnt a bad person so i am fine if he can win her back. Even though Harold is coming off as a good second lead, i am somehow unable to warm upto him. Even the bad people in the story are not really facing any real consequences. I hate Jackson for his hypocrisy. I hate Jordan and Natalie for their self-righteouness and selfishness. I also hate Deborah, except when she is handing it out to Natalie. I am almost on the verge of dropping this story....
Why are they acting like kids 🤣😭...
Ethan is actually not that bad if we take out his blind love for Natalie...
